Seafood galore

Long time no post... No excuse really... the summer, the holidays, one painting class in July, one in September, and a cancellation for the October one.

The theme for the July class was Crustaceans. Even if it is not a subject that I found particularly motivating, I really like the idea of going back to traditional chinese brush painting. ie, mostly black and white, more subjective than detailed... So in the end, I was really happy with the class!

They might almost all look the same, but I thought I would put a few examples of my shrimps and crabs here.
In the first picture, I tried to consider the composition of the picture and the addition of the seal gives it that little 'extra'.
The others are just studies...
